Directions
- 1
Pat the ribs dry with paper towels and place them on a large sheet of aluminum foil.
- 2
Combine minced garlic, smoked paprika, brown sugar, salt, and pepper, then rub the mixture all over the ribs, coating every surface evenly.
- 3
Wrap the ribs tightly in aluminum foil, bone-side down, and place on a baking tray.
- 4
Preheat oven to 220 °C (425 °F) and bake for 1 hour.
- 5
Carefully open the foil — the steam will be very hot — and check that the meat is tender and pulling away from the bone.
- 6
Brush a generous layer of barbecue sauce over the ribs, making sure to cover all sides.
- 7
Return to the oven, uncovered, for an additional 25–30 minutes until the sauce is sticky and caramelized.
- 8
Rest for 5 minutes before cutting and serving with your favorite sides.
💡 Chef's Tip
For a deeper flavor, marinate the seasoned ribs overnight in the fridge before cooking. A drizzle of honey mixed into the barbecue sauce adds a beautiful caramelized finish.
